This morning was working in Hethersett, Norfolk, and the conditions felt like a good day for passage. It was grey, drizzly, with low light, a beautiful morning.
With improving light a number of mostly small flocks of Redwings passed over from the NE, whilst even higher Finches were also heading in a southerly heading, I was able to ID for certain Chaffinches passing over.
A short visit late afternoon to a woodland edge at Little Cressingham produced 20+ Song Thrushes more or less together, clearly continental migrants.
Additional note 18/10/18 (0216)
Having looked at coastal records made 17th October, some very impressive counts of Chaffinches were seen on passage (many thousands in fact), thus corroborating my Finch observations on the morning of the 17th Oct.
